Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi
Chapter 739 - 737: Capture the Flag [Fourth Update]

Inside the Death Colosseum.

The central arena was immensely vast, its length and width both over ten kilometers, and that iron chain net that had just been outside the Colosseum was now spread over the arena.

This meant the Capture the Flag match would take place atop this iron chain net.

The dark vortex below continued to spin, with massive tentacles appearing and disappearing within it. Each tentacle bore sharp and deadly barbs, and once someone fell from the iron chain net and got entangled by these tentacles, there was no escaping—their fate would be death!

At the east and west ends of the arena, there stood a sacrificial altar each.

Atop each altar, a battle flag was posted.

The battle flags fluttered in the wind, making a snapping sound.

A grim aura filled the entire Colosseum.

As Xiao Yi and others entered the Colosseum, they each landed on the spectator stands surrounding the arena, with each team occupying a distinct area.

Only Xiao Yi's team, consisting of just five people, was surrounded by an empty space.

Whoosh!

An iron man referee rose slowly from the vortex, standing on two tentacles, hovering above the iron chain net.

Clang!

The iron man's eyes opened slowly, emitting a metallic sound, and its blood-red gaze swept forward as it said with an icy tone, "Based on your positions, each team has its own number. Next, two teams will be randomly selected for the Capture the Flag battle. The victorious team will pass through the Death Colosseum, while the losing team will be eliminated. If you fall from the iron chain net during the battle, this will be your end!"

As it spoke.

The iron man reached out and a small mountain flew over.

With a casual wave of the iron man's hand.

Whoosh!

The small mountain crashed down with a loud thud toward the vortex. Countless tentacles within the vortex, like wolves that had smelled blood, emitted a spine-chilling roar.

Rustling.

Numerous tentacles swarmed up, entwining the small mountain.

The barbs on the tentacles turned into the sharpest of blades, slicing the small mountain into innumerable pieces, which were then devoured by the vortex.

Not even a speck of dust was left behind!

Hiss!

Everyone inhaled sharply, astonished by the power of the vortex.

"We mustn't fall down there!"

"Even if we lose, at worst we'll be eliminated, but if we fall down there, it's death..." people were saying to each other.

Hu Junyi narrowed his eyes and lightly stroked his chin, revealing a playful smile, "If we toss Xiao Yi in there, do you think he could survive?"

"Hahaha, that's a brilliant idea!"

"It's just a matter of who will be lucky enough to face Xiao Yi's team..."

Just then.

The iron man hovering in midair said indifferently, "The first match will be between Team One and Team Two Hundred and Four!"

Whoosh, whoosh!

A blue light rose from the spectator stand where Hu Junyi and his team were, while another light, representing the team from Treasure Pavilion, lit up on the opposite side. A red light and a blue light converged into two pathways, transporting the fighters from both teams to the central arena, standing opposite each other, east to west, ready to clash.

As the iron man raised his hand, a yellow bronze gong appeared in the void beside him.

Dong!

The iron man hammered his fist onto the gong.

The sound resonated through the sky!

Waves of sound surged out in all directions.

At the same time.

Both sides on the arena launched their attacks simultaneously.

Hu Junyi, daring and skilled, ordered ninety of Nantian Holy Institute's strongest to defend their side's altar and protect the battle flag. He led ten genius warriors from the Nirvana Realm, charging towards the opponent's camp.

On the opposite side, the Treasure Pavilion team split into fifty defenders and fifty attackers.

The fifty attackers moved to the left and right edges.

Hugging close to the rim of the iron chain net, they sprinted toward the altar where Hu Junyi and his team were stationed.

The remaining fifty set up a defensive iron wall formation.

They guarded against the assault from Hu Junyi and his team.

Expressionless, Hu Junyi's eyes brimmed with a murderous intent. A black halberd fell into his hands, and like a preeminent War God, he bellowed with a roar reminiscent of the dragon's chant and the tiger's howl: "Those who block me will die!"

Boom!

Clasping the halberd with both hands, he lifted it above his head, then smashed it down towards the front: "With the strength to pull up mountains...!"

Hum!

The void trembled violently.

A surging crimson flame ignited on the Fangtian Huaji, and as it smashed down, the flame transformed into a fierce fire dragon.

The colossal dragon looked lifelike, with flames spewing from its mouth, roaring mightily.

Wherever it passed...

All the chains were burned red-hot.

In the midst of the crashing sounds,

The fire dragon forcibly scattered the team of fifty, and within just this one strike, five warriors perished under the Fangtian Huaji. Another six fell from the web of chains, ensnared by the tentacles below and sucked into the vortex, turned to ash—no bodies left intact.

Hiss!

The Nine Nirvana Rebirth Realm powerhouse of the Treasure Pavilion Team, Ma Xiao's, expression darkened. Responsible for defense, his combat power was undoubtedly strong, but facing the Nantian Holy Institute's top outer courtyard master Hu Junyi, he was still slightly inadequate.

Ma Xiao shouted to the remaining thirty-something warriors, "Niu Sheng, follow me and hold down Hu Junyi, the rest of you, protect the war flag. Buy time for our brothers on the offense!"

"Understood!"

The crowd responded in unison.

Niu Sheng was an Eight Nirvana Realm master with Innate Divine Strength, wielding a mountain-splitting great axe, he charged at Hu Junyi alongside Ma Xiao, one on the left and the other on the right.

Boom!

Boom!

A towering minotaur shadow emerged behind Niu Sheng.

And behind Ma Xiao appeared a figure with a horse's head and a human's body.

They were the two men's Martial Tao Skill.

Ox-Head, Horse-Face!

Side by side, they attacked Hu Junyi simultaneously, "A Stampede of Ten Thousand Horses!"

"Ox's Force Reaching the Skies!"

Upon the thousands of warhorses covered with black iron stupas, legions of skeletal warriors emerged, swarming forward. With a swing of Niu Sheng's great axe, slashes of axe light turned into raging bulls with blood-red eyes, their thunderous charge causing the web of chains to tremble violently.

"Ox-Head, Horse-Face? Hmph, whatever demons or devils, none can stop my Tyrant Spear!"

Hu Junyi's face turned stern as he stamped forcefully on the chain.

Rustling!

The entire web of chains vibrated thunderously, exciting the tentacles below, which writhed violently and reached for the chains.

A layer of blood-red armor covered Hu Junyi's body.

His cape fluttered noisily.

Like a supreme overlord!

Amidst the fluctuating red light underfoot, a blood-colored Qi-Blood dragon horse emerged.

Hu Junyi pulled the reins, and the Qi-Blood dragon horse reared up, neighing towards the sky, charging straightforward like a supreme overlord. Facing the onrush of warhorses and the herd of bulls, he moved through them as if they were nothing. Wherever the Fangtian Huaji went, the warhorses and raging bulls were torn apart with ease, opening a breach instantly. He arrived in front of Niu Sheng in a flash: "Die!"

Puff!

The Fangtian Huaji thrust forward fiercely, puncturing Niu Sheng's Qi shield in front of him, piercing straight through his chest.

With a fierce heave,

He flipped Niu Sheng over, who fell from the chain web, immediately entangled by countless tentacles into the vortex.

Hu Junyi's face twisted fiercely, holding his Fangtian Huaji as he looked toward Ma Xiao.

Ma Xiao trembled all over.

His face filled with terror, he bellowed, "I surrender, I surrender..."

The strong warriors from the Treasure Pavilion Team gave up their resistance one after another.

Astride the Qi-Blood dragon horse, Hu Junyi leaped onto the altar, snatched the war flag, and flew back. Landing on his side's altar, Hu Junyi held the war flag high and let out a long howl, "Nantian Holy Institute—Invincible!"

"Invincible!"

"Unbeatable in battle!"

Cries echoed throughout the Death Colosseum.

Hu Junyi pointed with the Fangtian Huaji in his hand at Xiao Yi, making a throat-slitting gesture, "Xiao Yi, you better not die too soon!"

Xiao Yi's lips curled up slightly, smiling without a word.

Subsequently, Ye Ling and others took their turns...

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, two-thirds of the teams had been eliminated, until the Iron Man slowly said, "Next up, team number thirty-six against team number seventy-one!"

All eyes turned simultaneously.

On one side, Xiao Yi's team, as well as Chai Tong and the others' team, lit up with red and blue lights...
